Hanna Malene Lindberg

I am a PhD candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, where I work with the literary perceptions and productions of nature in Norway in the 19th century.

I am generally interested in the ways literature can partake in, and may form, society. In addition to my academic work, I have organised literary and cultural festivals and worked with literary criticism and presentation of literature for a general public.

Nature in Service of the Nation

How does literature shape national conceptions of nature? How are different nature types valued as regard to nation building – be it as an economic, or symbolic, asset? My PhD project arises from this question, and will combine literature geography, cultural memory studies, and digital humanities to examine how nature is constructed in the literature of Norway from 1814 to 1871.
